Tomislava Dukić will represent Croatia at the Miss World 2025 pageant to be held on May 31, at the Hyderabad Exhibition Centre in Telangana, India.
First of all, congratulations on winning the title of Miss World Croatia 2025!
How did you feel when your name was announced as the winner? – It was truly a moment filled with overwhelming emotions of joy and gratitude. I didn’t expect towin Miss Croatia, but I certainly hoped for it and dreamed of this moment.
Becoming Miss World is a dream for many young girls, and I am just at the beginning of what could be the realization ofthat dream. However, this title is not just about beauty; it is an opportunity to be a voice for young women, to inspire and motivate.
I am fully aware of the responsibility that comes with it, and I am ready to give my best to represent my country, Croatia, with dignity on the global stage.
I look forward to the challenges, experiences, and opportunities ahead, but most of all, I am excited to prove that dedication, perseverance, and self-belief truly pay off.
Miss World places great importance on the «Beauty with a Purpose» project.
What cause are you most passionate about, and what initiatives do you plan to support? – Children, as the most vulnerable members of society and our future, deserve special attention.
Through my project, I emphasize the importance of instilling self-love and self-respect in childrenso they can share that love and respect with others.
In Benin, Africa, in 2010, after storms and destruction left many families without shelter, an orphanage was built a place where children without a home found safety, education, and endless warmth.
Despite the challenging conditions, the orphanage became a haven of hope and a new beginning for many children.
When I arrived there, I felt something that is hard to put into words an overwhelming sense of connection, genuine warmth, and the realization that we were part of something greater than ourselves.
Although volunteering in Africa had its unique challenges, it was not so different.
Traveling is one of your greatest passions. What has been your most memorable trip so far, and which destination is still on your bucket list?
Every destination I have visited has been a unique experience, so it’s difficult to pick just one.
Each place carries its own story, people, culture, and energy that leave a lasting impression.
From vibrant European cities to exotic beaches and historical landmarks, every journey has shaped meand enriched my perspective.
However, one destination that has always been on my bucket list is India and soon, that dream will come true.
Competing in Miss World is a life-changing experience. What do you hope to gain from this journey, both personally and professionally?
What I am certain of is that I will walk away from this experience richer in knowledge, friendships, and personal growth.
This journey offers an incredible opportunity to meet extraordinary women from all over the world, exchange cultures, and learn and grow on so many levels.
Professionally, this is a platform for networking, developing new skills, and representing my country on a global scale.
Miss World is a prestigious competition that opens doors to countlessopportunities whether in film industry, humanitarian work, or any other field where I can make ameaningful impact.
Regardless of the outcome, I know this experience will be invaluable, and I am eager to embrace everything it has to offer.
Discipline and sports play a major role in your life. How do you stay motivated to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle?
The key to motivation lies in setting goals that are sustainable and aligned with personal wellbeing without compromising health or happiness.
It’s important to find a balance betweendiscipline and enjoying the process, to listen to your body, set realistic goals, and remainconsistent.
For me, physical activity is more than just aesthetics; it is a form of self-care, a sourceof energy, and a way to build mental strength.
Being healthy and active is an investment in oneself, and when you find an activity that brings you joy whether it’s training, dancing, yoga, or hiking motivation becomes natural.
Having a supportive environment, whether through shared workouts or inspiring people, also plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Miss World has a rigorous selection process, including interviews, sports, and talent segments. What was the biggest challenge for you?
The biggest challenge was simply stepping out of my comfort zone and putting myself on a public stage.
It takes courage to face evaluation and present yourself in the best possible light.
Each category of the competition presented its own challenges interviews required eloquence and confidence, sports demanded endurance and discipline, while the talent segment show casedcreativity and authenticity.
However, these challenges made the experience truly valuable, as theypushed me to grow, learn, and become a stronger version of myself.
What do you believe sets you apart from other contestants, and how do you plan to represent Croatia on the international stage?
I truly believe that beauty is a reflection of what we carry inside. If we are not beautiful on theinside, outer beauty will never shine through.
What truly matters is the energy we radiate—ourauthenticity, character, and inner strength.
When it comes to representing Croatia, I will give myall to be a worthy ambassador of my country.
Croatia is a land of rich culture, breathtakinglandscapes, and warm-hearted people, and I want the world to see its uniqueness through me.
Together with the Miss World Croatia Organization, we will ensure that every aspect of mypreparation, public appearances, and overall representation is at the highest level.
As a public figure, you have the power to inspire many young women. What message would you like to share with them?
True beauty is not what we see in the mirror, but what we leave behind.
Every small act ofkindness, understanding, and compassion has an impact that echoes far beyond us.
Let’s not just exist in the world let’s leave footprints of love, kindness, and purpose.
Thank you very much for this interview and to the Miss World Croatia Organization for giving authorization.
The Perfect Miss team wishes you the best in the upcoming Miss World 2025 pageant.
